Portal Wedding Proposal Will Go Down in Nerd History

I’ve come across a lot of geeky marriage proposals in my time running this site, but I have to say out of all them, this might be my favorite. And by “favorite” I don’t mean I would ever, ever do it, but I respect the process as wow, for what it is, this is really well done.

A man enlisted the help of a talented Portal level designer to craft an elaborate set of stages that his girlfriend would play and would ultimately lead her to a final question. The levels are rather excellent in themselves, but what’s more intriguing is how he got GLaDOS to help. Is there some sort of synthesizer where you can type in anything and make her say it?

In any case, watch the full video above and see how nerd love works. For science.

I think I'm a part of the first generation of journalists to skip print media entirely, and I've learned a lot these last few years at Forbes. My work has appeared on TVOvermind, IGN, and most importantly, a segment on The Colbert Report at one point.

My understanding is that is Ellen McLain (GlaDOS’s voice actress) also enlisted to help on this project.

I’ve done a few shows with Ellen McLain in Seattle and she strikes me as the sort of actor that would help out with something like this.

Jesus Christ your syntax and grammar in the first sentence of the second paragraph are horrendous. Editor much? What the fuck does “A man enlisted the help of a talent Portal level designed to crated an elaborate set of stages his girlfriend would play that would ultimately lead her to one final question” mean?

That said, I do have you in my bookmarks, and I have been drinking heavily.
